Chapter 237 She only trusts herself now.
Shen Qingshu looked at Jin Que and said, "It seems that you are very confident that you can kick Fu Siyan out of the Fu family this time."
“When my father steps forward, all the relatives and collateral branches of the Fu family will step forward. The shares that Fu Siyan holds were inherited from Qin Fang. Before Fu Siyan took over Fu's Group, Qin Fang engaged in illegal business practices. My father has collected enough evidence. Even though Qin Fang has gone abroad, there will still be disputes over these shares. Fu Siyan's position as president of Fu's Group is not so legitimate.”
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Don't forget, Fu Siyan is a lawyer. What you can think of, he must have thought of long ago as well."
"Yes, he already cleared out Fu's shares a long time ago."
Jin Que paused for a moment, then continued, "Fu Siyan currently holds 59% of the shares personally. Some time ago, he transferred 10% of the shares to Xiao Anning, right?"
"You even managed to find out about this?" Shen Qingshu stared at Jin Que with a hint of wariness. "Jin Que, did you know about my relationship with Fu Siyan from the very beginning?"
Now that things have come to this, Jin Que has no intention of hiding it from Shen Qingshu any longer.
"Yes, I've always known and been aware of your identity."
"So, you intentionally approached me from the very beginning?"
Jin Que lowered his eyes. "Our meeting was a coincidence. It was about two months after you arrived in the ancient town that I learned about your relationship with Fu Siyan."
Shen Qingshu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who told you that?"
"I had someone investigate." Jin Que raised his eyes, his gaze gentle. "A-Shu, do you really not remember me at all?"
Shen Qingshu frowned. "What should I remember?"
"Nine years ago, you saved a man who was being robbed." Jin Que looked at her, his voice low.
Shen Qingshu frowned, vaguely remembering that there seemed to be such an event.
That day was the day Jiang Yuelan was detained for manslaughter. She stayed at the police station until late at night, and only after repeated persuasion from the police officers did she leave the police station with a heavy and confused feeling.
At that time, she really didn't know what to do and planned to ask the Jiang family for help.
Snow was falling in the northern part of the city late at night, and there were few cars on the streets, not even a taxi in sight.
Shen Qingshu was walking on her way to the Jiang family's house when she suddenly heard someone shouting for help ahead.
The sound was coming from a small alley.
Shen Qingshu's first reaction was to take out her phone and call the police.
Hearing that someone had called the police, the thugs ran off cursing.
Shen Qingshu saw the man lying on the ground and rushed over to check on him.
The man had been slashed in the stomach, and the wound was bleeding profusely.
Shen Qingshu took off her coat and pressed it against the man's bleeding wound. Fortunately, the police arrived soon.
With the police present, Shen Qingshu explained what had happened and then left.
"Was that man you?"
“It’s me.” Jin Que smiled. “I still have the scar from back then on my abdomen.”
Shen Qingshu looked at him, speechless for a moment.
This world is ridiculously small.
Who could have imagined that on that most helpless and confused night of her life, the man she inadvertently saved was actually her ex-husband's half-brother...
Years later, this man sat in front of her and asked her earnestly, "If Fu Siyan and I end up on opposite sides, who would you choose?"
Shen Qingshu looked at Jin Que.
Jin Que's intentions were so obvious; if she still couldn't perceive them, she would be far too oblivious.
However, before today, she never imagined that Jin Que would develop feelings for her that went beyond friendship.
She always considered Jin Que a friend.
"Jin Que, it's my turn to ask you: Did Fu Siyan know your identity from the beginning?"
“He probably only found out recently.” Jin Que smiled bitterly. “You still care about him, don’t you?”
"To me, Fu Siyan is the biological father of my two children, and nothing more. But even so, I will not easily stand against him, because I don't want my children to be caught in the middle."
In wealthy families, not to mention half-brothers, even biological brothers often turn against each other in the struggle for power.
It is clear that Fu Siyan and Jin Que have long been enemies.
She didn't want to get involved in their struggle, and even less did she want her child to be implicated.
Jin Que smiled faintly, "Having a child brings ties, I understand."
Shen Qingshu: "So I hope you can handle this yourselves."
Jin Que said, "Xiao Anning's 10% shareholding carries one vote at the shareholders' meeting. Now that you are managing the shares on her behalf, it means you have one vote."
"I choose to abstain." Shen Qingshu looked at Jin Que with a firm expression.
She trusted neither Fu Siyan nor Jin Que.
Jin Que, however, was still unwilling to give up and tried his best to persuade Shen Qingshu.
“If I can successfully obtain the inheritance rights of the Fu family, Xiao Nian’an will still be the heir of the Fu family, but I will not force Xiao Nian’an to do things he doesn’t like. Moreover, I will help you regain custody of Xiao Nian’an, and he can grow up by your side.”
This is indeed very tempting for Shen Qingshu.
But Shen Qingshu remained unmoved.
The grudges and past events involving the Fu family are not credible enough to be based solely on Jin Que's one-sided account.
She stood up and looked at Jin Que. "I always thought we were pretty good friends, but now it seems we can't really be considered friends."
Jin Que was taken aback.
Shen Qingshu paid the bill at the front desk and walked straight out of the coffee shop.
Jin Que sat in the coffee shop, motionless for a long time.
Guan Yue walked to his side, bowed, and said, "President Zhou of the Zhou family has contacted me and said he wants to discuss a cooperation with you."
Jin Que: "Set a time with him."
"yes."
…
After returning to her studio, Shen Qingshu immediately called Zhuo Yi.
How did you and Zhou Baiting meet?
Zhuo Yi: "We met at a symposium last time, chatted for a bit, and felt we got along quite well."
Shen Qingshu pressed on, "Did you have any business dealings with him?"
"We do have this intention," Zhuo Yi said truthfully, "but we haven't discussed it in detail yet. The main reason is that the Zhou family's business is mainly in manufacturing, which doesn't quite align with ours..."
"Don't get too close to Zhou Baiting." Shen Qingshu said in a very serious tone, "If I find out that you have any business dealings with Zhou Baiting, I will withdraw my investment immediately."
Zhuo Yi was a little confused. "Qing Shu, do you and this Mr. Zhou have some kind of grudge?"
“I don’t trust the Zhou family’s character.” Shen Qingshu didn’t have time to explain too much to Zhuo Yi. “Go check the Zhou family on the Beicheng Forum, and you’ll understand.”
After saying that, Shen Qingshu hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Shen Qingshu made another phone call to Seventh Master.
"I've thought about your suggestion last time, and I agree to cooperate."
Seventh Master laughed on the other end of the line, "Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Miss Shen. I wish us a pleasant collaboration next time!"
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly, "It's a pleasure working with you."
